South Carolina has some of the highest rates of bicycle accident deaths in the nation. The fatality rate is 3.3 fatalities per million, each year. (South Carolina Department of Transportation).

Too often, bicyclists don’t receive the compensation that they deserve following an accident. They assume that the insurance company is giving them a fair payment. They don’t understand the loopholes and technicalities that insurance companies use to limit compensation.

Do I deserve compensation for my bicycle accident?

Bicyclists have all the rights of others on the roads, unless a special restriction applies. Drivers must be aware that bicyclists may be present and take precautions.

Some grounds for compensation for a bicycle accident are:

• A driver failing to stop behind a crosswalk
• Not leaving sufficient space for a bicyclist on the side of the road
• Turning in front of a bicyclist
• Not allowing the bicyclist to make a turn
• Speeding, drunk driving, and texting – any behavior that detracts from safe driving
• Failing to watch for a bicyclist before crossing a road or path
• Driving too fast for traffic and people in the area
• Poor road construction or maintenance
• Swerving out of the path of an animal
• Vehicle malfunction

The cause of the accident can be hard to determine. Our lawyers can investigate and evaluate legal fault. We ensure that all responsible parties are held accountable in your claim.

Why do I need a bicycle accident lawyer?

It can be tempting to accept a small offer from the insurance company to resolve the case. However, once you do that, you can’t open a claim again even if you realize later that your injuries are more serious. For bicycle accident victims, injuries and damages are often significant. Future damages must be carefully valued and included. It’s important to know how to evaluate settlement offers to determine if you’re being treated fairly.

Our bicycle accident lawyers help you with everything important to your case. Just some of the ways we help you are:

• Thoroughly investigating and documenting medical bills including long-term, future costs
• Claiming property damage including the value of your bicycle
• Determining who has legal fault and how to prove their responsibility for the accident
• Making reports to the insurance company and substantiating your amount of damages
• Valuing all types of damages including lost income, physical suffering, emotional anguish and disfigurement
• Understanding the difficulties that bicyclists face in bringing claims
• Evaluating a settlement offer and guiding you through decision-making throughout the case
• Filing your legal claim and taking the steps through legal procedure to advance your claim
• Responding when the defense or witnesses are uncooperative
• Speaking on your behalf in court, including conducting trial as your representative

Our legal services for bicycle accident victims are comprehensive. We are prepared to represent you through everything necessary to get fair compensation.
